March 6, 2018—FRAM announced it has upgraded its Extra Guard Spin-on Oil Filters to now feature a silicone anti-drainback valve (ADBV) and will now meet all manufacturers’ recommended change intervals.
The silicone ADBV remains flexible three times longer than nitrile, offering added protection for safe engine start-ups. Additionally, FRAM says its new filter offers even stronger protection against dry starts, which can damage the engine.
“This enhanced technology delivers a higher quality, value-added filter,” said Thomas Amundson, product manager. “The Extra Guard Oil Filter offers the perfect balance of dirt-trapping efficiency and dirt-holding capacity.”
